Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Her hemoglobin level is low. So blood transfusion is advisable for low hemoglobin. Don't worry about her infection and high total wbc count. She can take blood transfusion with high total wbc count. No need to worry about that.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
